Associations between unstable housing, obstetric outcomes, and perinatal health care utilization.
While there is a growing interest in addressing social determinants of health in clinical settings, there are limited data on the relationship between unstable housing and both obstetric outcomes and health care utilization. ⋯ Unstable housing documentation is associated with adverse obstetric outcomes and high health care utilization. Housing and supplemental income for pregnant women should be explored as a potential intervention to prevent preterm birth and prevent increased health care utilization.
